Hello future GitHubber! Know that this HTML response will be vomited upon all failures regardless of client, API, or request type surface from now until eternity. So keep it tight.

Serverless Lambda on managed servers

Backends implemented on split ingestion pipelines are in for a rough time

Just wait until there's a leap second

We built a new Next.js, on @vite.dev. Drop-in replacement. Builds 4x faster with @rolldown.rs.

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs) Good tech. Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales) Bad tech.

Are there any known solutions to setting up Claude Code authentication against a subscription plan in a headless, ephemeral environment?

I might write some code today just to feel something

Is there anyway to write Cloudformation without writing Cloudformation? Or is the answer to just have Claude spit it out? I used goformation in the past and found it useful, but sadly it looks like it's dead: github.com/awslabs/gofo...

It's jump-start-the-car level of cold this morning.

Thanks to ClickHouse for inviting us to share this post. Had a lot of fun digging into performance benchmarking work again!

It looks like Librato is finally sunset today, not a bad 14 year run. www.reddit.com/r/Solarwinds...

It required me doing ungodly things.

It's great to see Datadog adding agentless OTLP intake now, initially just with metrics and logs. Useful for one shot SDK integrations, but it's also interesting if it'll allow for smaller OTLP exporter only collector deployments in the future. docs.datadoghq.com/opentelemetr...

The classic file descriptor vtable approach was a pretty useful pattern when building user-level CP/R back in the day. It meant we could just swap the FD pointer quickly based on whether it was virtualized or not. oshub.org/projects/ret...

The glue in many of these cases are the bindings built on PyO3. We found it powerful enough to allow us to go from Rust->Python->Rust when building native Python processor integration for Rotel.

When you've got to use up the garden tomatoes that are about to go bad: sandwish.netlify.app/ac70ab777318...

The past 7 months @ramond.bsky.social and I have worked on the hypothesis that telemetry data requires a systems approach for high-perf, predictable and resource efficient collection at scale. We're excited to announce our progress so far and hope that the community can join us: dub.sh/A7sI0Tm

There's something satisfying about finding and digging out potatoes from the garden. Never know how many are down there and in what condition.

Had a great time sharing rotel.dev at #OpenO11ySummit + #OTelDay with @mike.heffner.io. Blown away by how many people had already heard of it and tried it. “Yeah we tried it and it was 8x faster than our existing solution”. We thought today was our first official announcement 🤣.

Google's truncating of the Github repo name in search results is not confusing at all.

I'll be heading out to San Francisco for a few days next week. If you're around and want to talk about low overhead OpenTelemetry use in AWS Lambda, let's chat! github.com/streamfold/r...

Excellent article on positioning domain engineering between product engineering and infrastructure engineering. I fully agree with the financial model section. However, I prefer to call it ‘platform engineering: the hard parts,’ simply because in the middle, we face more volatile semantics.

I missed that it was feature flagging and observability synergy week

Another reason, past cold start times, I'm glad we focused on optimizing our extension initialization time. It would be great if SecretsManager API calls were faster, since that's an often the long pole in the tent for init time. github.com/streamfold/r...

Coming soon: Interstate Data Transfer Costs

For the dozens of us out there, this post was the missing piece in getting ollama working on Fedora with Nvidia. Now I'm able to vibe code with the best of em: RustRover + continue.dev + ollama. blog.lazyhacker.com/2024/09/inst...

Shipped a small demo of OpenTelemetry traces -> Datadog for monitoring Remote MCP server availability. It's early days for MCP, and remote deployments in particular, so let us know what would be useful: github.com/streamfold/m...

I wanted to write something like this so many times when I was at Netlify! We always decided it was best to not make a fuss. Now I'm not at Netlify, I still believe abstracting the hosting layer via adapters makes for better framework architecture overall, as well as being better for the ecosystem.

At some scale a GH personal access token of yours is always expiring.

I've definitely found this to be true and trying to debug it via traditional means like Google and SO is impossible since no human would have made that same error.

BIG NEWS. I have left the Post. Corporate and billionaire media are failing to meet the moment. With @normeisen.bsky.social I'm launching @contrariannews.bsky.social. We'll have politics but also cooking, humor, film and even pets. Please subscribe and join the fight. contrarian.substack.com

There are those who believe in the multiverse and those who don't.

absolutely incredible attack vector

An OTLP sink looks like it's finally coming to Vector, but only for OTLP formatted messages. How complex a VRL would it require to transform DD Agent source traffic to OTLP? vector.dev/releases/0.4...

I would have to guess this doesn't work with the add_files method?

Is dynamodb-local the preferred local testing container for DDB? Localstack works, but I see some regular high request latency.

cursed holiday gift

Adding append support for S3 Standard and multiple concurrent writers would make this quite powerful: docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/lat...

Hello, I wrote a new talk that is ultimately about how misery is a dumb strategy egoless.engineering

TC may be on to something here

It turns out that obtaining a Medallion Signature appears to be one reason to maintain an account at a local bank.
